Looking for rater and AMS

[BD2021]

starting a new independent agency and looking for any input on best rater and AMS to use. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I would look into EZlinks. For more advanced producer tracking look at AMS360. For more commercial based, I hear good things about now certs.

There is a Facebook forum for Agency owners that has plenty of opinions about various systems. IAOA .

NowCerts for commercial business is perfect.

Check out Capta IMS.

After using Ezlinx for the last few years, I'm looking at PL rater from Vertafore. Way more user friendly!

Is TurboRater good? We have about 8 carriers (more coming soon), and we don't have a rater.

Check out Layr if you're looking for a good way to automate quoting for SMB prospects. They also have a white labeled service center that you can use to service your book at a significantly lower cost vs. an AM or CSA.

My Agency uses AMS360, sometimes referred to PMS360. What questions do you have?

Whatever you decide, changing systems later can be very expensive with the data transfer.
